سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ ظَاهَرَ مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ ثُمَّ طَلَّقَهَا تَطْلِيقَةً فَقَالَ إِذَا طَلَّقَهَا تَطْلِيقَةً فَقَدْ بَطَلَ الظِّهَارُ وَ هَدَمَ الطَّلَاقُ الظِّهَارَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ فَلَهُ أَنْ يُرَاجِعَهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ هِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ فَإِنْ رَاجَعَهَا وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمُظَاهِرِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَتَمَاسَّا قُلْتُ فَإِنْ تَرَكَهَا حَتَّى يَخْلُوَ أَجَلُهَا وَ تَمْلِكَ نَفْسَهَا ثُمَّ تَزَوَّجَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ هَلْ يَلْزَمُهُ الظِّهَارُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا قَالَ لَا قَدْ بَانَتْ مِنْهُ وَ مَلَكَتْ نَفْسَهَا قُلْتُ فَإِنْ ظَاهَرَ مِنْهَا فَلَمْ يَمَسَّهَا وَ تَرَكَهَا لَا يَمَسُّهَا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَرَاهَا مُتَجَرِّدَةً مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا هَلْ يَلْزَمُهُ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ هِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ وَ لَيْسَ يَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِ مُجَامَعَتُهَا وَ لَكِنْ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمُظَاهِرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُجَامِعَهَا وَ هِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ رَفَعَتْهُ إِلَى السُّلْطَانِ وَ قَالَتْ هَذَا زَوْجِي وَ قَدْ ظَاهَرَ مِنِّي وَ قَدْ أَمْسَكَنِي لَا يَمَسُّنِي مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَجِبَ عَلَيْهِ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمُظَاهِرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُجْبَرَ عَلَى الْعِتْقِ وَ الصِّيَامِ وَ الْإِطْعَامِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَا يُعْتِقُ وَ لَمْ يَقْوَ عَلَى الصِّيَامِ وَ لَمْ يَجِدْ مَا يَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ قَالَ فَإِنْ كَانَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ يُعْتِقَ فَإِنَّ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ أَنْ يُجْبِرَهُ عَلَى الْعِتْقِ وَ الصَّدَقَةِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَمَسَّهَا وَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا يَمَسُّهَا .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub Al Khazzaz, from Yazeed Al Kunasy who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about a man who did <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span> from his wife, them divorced her with a divorce. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When he divorced her with a divorce, so it invalidated the <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span>, and divorce demolishes the <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span>’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I said, ‘So is there for him to revert to her?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, she is his wife. So if he were to revert back to her, it would Obligated upon him what Obligates upon the perpetrator of <span class="iTxt">Zahaar </span>from before they touch each other’. I said, ‘So if he were to leave her until she is free from her term and she is in control of herself, then he marries her after that, would the <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span> necessitate upon him before he touches her?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No. She was irrevocably divorced from him, and in control of herself’. I said, ‘So if her does <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span> from her, and does not touch her, and leaves her, not touching her except that he sees her naked from without touching her, would anything from that necessitate upon him?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘She is his wife, and it is not prohibited on him copulating with her, but it Obligates upon him what Obligates upon the perpetrator of <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span>, before he copulates with her, and she is his wife’. I said, ‘Supposing if she were to raise it (the matter) to the Sultan (ruler) and says, ‘This is my husband, and he had done <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span> from me, and has kept me, not touching me fearing that it would Obligate upon him what Obligates upon the perpetrator of <span class="iTxt">Zahaar</span>’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is not upon him that he should be completed upon the emancipation, and the Fasting, and the feeding when there does not happen to be for him what he can emancipate with, and give charity with, from before he touches her, and from after having touched her’.
